Donald Trump said in an interview released on Sunday that he did not think he would run for president again in 2028 if he loses this year’s race for the White House.

In an interview on the Full Measure television show with Sharyl Attkisson, the former US president – who ran in 2016 and 2020 – was asked whether he saw himself running yet again in four years time.

“No, I don’t,” Trump answered. “I don’t see that at all.”

He said: “Hopefully, we’re going to be successful.”

      I just hope he goes to prison. We better not get any of this “heal the country” shit. You know what will heal the country? Having people who break the look law go to jail.

      Three u.s establishment would never allow a former president to go to prison. It’s never going to happen. All we can hope for is death by big Mac by the time he’s 80

        He is literally awaiting sentencing. Admittedly, he had to break a lot of fucking laws for something to stick but I expect we’ll be seeing his Prison Memiors on sale for years and years.

          I think the whale nuker is right. He might get a lot of probation, but prison is almost assuredly not going to happen. I was sort of holding out hope, but this soft handling by the judges seems too nice.

          He’s awaiting a slap on the wrist is what. At most he’ll be fined money he will never pay and be given some sort of suspended sentence at most

      I want to see him flee to Russia and see how Putin handles him after he’s done being useful. Will Putin finance his lavish lifestyle to show others that working with him might pay off or will Putin deal with him more harshly for failing to get America out of his imperialist way? Or maybe Putin will make a show out of promising to support him financially but then a “rival” will deal with Trump, making Putin very angry but there’s nothing that can be done now, such is life.

      Or would Trump even be willing to flee if it means losing SS protection, now that he knows at least two people wanted to shoot him badly enough to risk their lives on it?

          Yeah, and providing a rich lifestyle for Trump wouldn’t help his position, which is why I wouldn’t be disappointed if reality chose that path.
